Nevertheless, I would encourage a whole new topic called the History of State Practices in the Forced and Persuasive Drugging of Individuals. For the U.S., it could include everything from human subject rules in experimentation, to the prisoner LSD experiments, to drugging Guantanamo detainees, to today’s pushing alcohol and drugs on vulnerable protesters of the state.

It would be great if you could get a panel proposal together on that subject. If not, a single paper would certainly fit under the themes of the conference.

The areas outlined in the CFP itself are intentionally broad, but maybe people would like to use this comments thread as a forum for suggesting specific panel topics. It would be good to get an idea of what subjects emerge.
